Transverse in Malayalam

The entry here is not the bare adjective but the physics term for transverse waves, അനുപ്രസ്ഥതരംഗങ്ങള്‍ (anuprastharamg), which ends in the plural for waves. Transverse itself is the first element of that compound, the Sanskrit expression for lying across. You will meet it in school physics rather than in conversation.

Most common translation

Dictionary entry

Because the headword is the full phrase, do not lift അനുപ്രസ്ഥതരംഗങ്ങള്‍ (anuprastharamg) into a sentence where only the adjective is needed; keep it for the wave sense.
